I lowkey aspire to look this high status (White Lotus Reference)

I LOVE the dynamics of the three, taking sides against which one of the third isn't there, the gossiping. It's a lot of fun and all three are great actresses. I'm in Miami and many moms have that sort of body: women who work very little or not at all, do a lot of procedures and have money (or spend money they don't have!)

It's not just "a restaurant." It's a wellness resort in Thailand, where people are expected to wear clothes like that -- they'd just had their biomarkers done by a personal trainer.

OK, that only makes it mildly more acceptable. I would be sooo bored in a Thai wellness resort. For one thing, I appear to be one of the rare people who doesn't enjoy getting massages from strangers. I'd rather be drinking a limeade, fully dressed, at the Jim Thompson House Museum in Bangkok.

I would love the resort. I'd stay at my villa, read by my pool and stare at the monkeys and other nature. It sounds amazing to me. I don't need massages or anything like that.

This. My old money grandmother would be horrified. You shouldn’t show your stomach unless at a gym or a pool. I don’t care if it’s toned, it’s vulgar. (And that’s the word she would use!)

Opinion and language from 1981^^. And it was outdated by a couple of decades then.

Im annoyed that Leslie Bibb seems to be playing “aging panic” characters these days. In this, in the Apple Palm Beach thing. I hope Mike White gives her something interesting to do. She’s in my personal favorite movie (The Wristcutters) and I think she can do more than these Botox Biddies.

Out with the Birkenstock Crew.

I don’t think you know what basic means. You can look good and basic at the same time. All of them look basic. 2 of them look better than the third. That’s all.

Adding, though, that Carrie Coon is my fave of the three. She’s the best actress for sure.

The Carrie Coon character not looking as attractive as the other two looks to be a plot point. It does keep coming up (remember how the other two were going on about how "You look amazing" and "no you do" and awkwardly leaving her out and she was right there?).

I personally find Carrie Coon to be the most beautiful of the 3. And, at the same time, I’m so trained to unconsciously read appearance signaling that I also found her the least “you look amazing”. My brain kept switching back and forth.

She's the least altered of the three. Leslie Bibb is the oldest and she's in great shape but she's also had a lot done to her face. Monaghan's work is more subtle but she's still had quite a bit of work done. Coon is the youngest but clearly the least "touched." I would be somewhat surprised if she doesn't at least do Botox for big events, but when she acts her face looks really natural and I really don't see evidence of anything. She takes roles that are not necessarily flattering and seems to lean into her natural looks (beautiful but aging naturally, looks more like a middle class woman than a movie star) while the others lean more heavily in their beauty and probably have more invested in maintaining it.

I wonder if they laughed about this while filming -- the fact that their characters acknowledge having work done that is probably reflective of what the actresses themselves have done. Or if it was just not acknowledged.

Anyway, even if she's the least "preserved" of the group, Coon is the one I'd most want to look like because she's pretty and fit but looks her age and looks at home in her skin. I would take that over looking more dramatically gorgeous but having to maintain a lot of procedures and feeling the pressure if that all the time. It would be nice for a minute but long term it's too much work for me.

Leslie Bibb has had too much work done. It doesn't look natural or good. She would be prettier if she had not done whatever she has had done bc like so many women who do that, she looks strange. And Moynahan is gorgeous but teetering very close to the edge. She is someone who would age so beautifully and does not need to do "work." I really don't understand why women don't think they can age and still be beautiful.

Male gaze.

Most of the men will prefer Leslie Bibb. I guarantee it.

Nooo, she is way too tall and dry looking with the short bob. Men like long hair. MM is the most attractive by far.

The point stands ... the reason women "don't think they can age and be beautiful" is because most can't. MM has had plenty of work done as well.

Let's not blame the messenger here.

The writers are writing these characters. And she is over 50 and taking the work she can get.

Now that I know the middle one is MM, I clearly see it just her hair is now blondish (I prefer it dark, but she is aging fantastically). Leslie Bibb is unrecognizable to me, and I barely recognize Carrie Coon. Which makes me think at least LB and CC have had some cosmetic work- their looks are not just a result of hours at the gym.

Sorry, you’re wrong. Monaghan has had plenty of work done and Coon very little.

+1 and though Coon is the youngest she looks older than the others as a result. I think I remember reading somewhere that she smokes. All three are very thin, which tends to make dermatological interventions more pressing.

I don’t think she looks the oldest, just the least conventionally attractive. All the work the other two have had done reads older to me. Frankly I know some 20 somethings who look like they’re in their 40s because they’ve already gone down the fillers and Botox road.

The costuming is so perfect on this show. These three trigger me so much as you see women like this a lot in the wealthier parts of NOVA and DC. Perfectly toned bodies even in their 50s and 60s, tastefully applied barely there makeup. Smooth skin that belies their age. Expensive perfectly coordinated outfits even to workout!

I want to be them!

they look ridiculous and the one in the middle has something weird going on with her thigh/hip area.

What? They look "ridiculous"?

You could only hope to look this "ridiculous." But by all means, type away at us in your Hair Cuttery DC lob and Talbot's slacks and BMI of 31 while criticizing MM's thighs.

That is a hip dip. Something some women have as part of their normal female anatomy.

It's mostly the way she's standing and the angle of the camera.

I think I have this, it becomes more pronounced too if you work out your quads.

Carrie Coon is beautiful - they are styling her to be a little frumpier and less showy. You all get that, right?
